Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?
Senator Clinton's closest aide, Ms. Abedin never sweats; Oscar de la Renta wants to dress her
by Spencer Morgan
Published: April 1, 2007

...The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.
Ms. Abedin recently bought an apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C. ...
Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. She was hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady's chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton's permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton's aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race.
Her Presidential campaign title is "traveling chief of staff"...
According to a friend, her favorite designers are Mr. de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan and Prada. "And she has a weakness for Marc Jacobs bags," said the friend. "She is known for her bags."
Robert Barnett, the Clintons' longtime attorney, said that in 11 years of knowing her, he has never seen her wear the same outfit twice...

Unrelated: the city's sex life bottoms out; Hillary's gal Friday; Dean among the Queens

...As I recently said on MONICA CROWLEY's radio show, whisper campaigns are claiming that HILLARY CLINTON is GAYLE KING–ing her aide de camp, the glamorous HUMA ABEDIN, an Indian/Pakistani goddess from Kalamazoo, Michigan. In other words, Hillary may be putting Huma out there in the press and purposely making her more visible as a pre-emptive strike that amounts to her hiding in plain sight. This way, no Republican can later say, "Who is this gorgeous babe who spends so much intimate time with Hillary that the Observer called her Hill's 'body person'? Was GENNIFER FLOWERS's book right about Hillary's sexual taste?" And does either of this couple have the balls to bottom?
Of course that whole scenario can't possibly be true, since Bill and Hill have been so lovey-dovey lately for the cameras, and besides, whenever he's been serviced by an intern—or by anyone—he's clearly been thinking of his wife. (They're that close.) But suddenly, Huma—a sort of Muslim SALMA HAYEK—has that spread in Vogue and the accompanying write-up notes that she "oversees every minute of Senator Clinton's day." Every single minute? Even Gayle King takes a break now and then! (PS: If I called for comment, Hillary's camp would surely say, "Just because two powerful women are closer than sardines doesn't make them dykes." And that's so true. Look at MATT and BEN. But now that Crowley has dubbed me the head of Huma Resources, I'm going to pursue this story with every cojone I've got.)
Hillary Lesbian Rumor Given Weight by DOJ Official

We're still a bit incredulous on this one, but a top level U.S. Department of Justice official is telling Big Head DC that Michael Musto's rumor about Hillary Clinton fooling around with one of her top female aides Huma Abedin is based in reality!
"I am close enough to Hillary and Huma to tell you that this ‘rumor' is true," the official says. "It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.
"If you call Hillary's residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone," the official continues. "Same thing late at night and on the road. It's a closely guarded secret that Hillary's inner circle guards at all costs."
Make of that what you will, kids. But know this: The official is someone who has proven highly credible in the past...
YAPPY MOMENT

WHAT was Hillary Clinton's ultra-glamorous right-hand woman, Huma Abedin, doing cooling her heels outside a Bukharian Jewish Congress reception in the Senate on Thursday afternoon? We're not sure, but one of D.C.'s most eligible bachelors, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn), was the emcee. As the event wrapped up, an ebullient Weiner was spotted escorting the charming Abedin - who has been profiled in Vogue - out the Capitol's first-floor doors. "They were yapping and catching up," said a Weiner spokesman.
Shocking Inside DC Scandal Rumor: A Media Ethics Dilemma

So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that "everyone knows" The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate...
Rosenbaum's Political Physics
By Mickey Kaus

Do you ever sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I'm not in the elite, because I don't know what he's talking about. ... My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. ... P.S.: If it's just Richardson, that will be very disappointing. ...
Halloween, Hillary, Huma and Hidden Sex Affair Story

I have been receiving emails about Huma - one came for a Department of Justice computer (ISP) stating this: "I am close enough to both Hillary and Huma to know that it is an open secret on the campaign that those two are romantically involved. It is something you will never get them to verify though…"

I tell you what, if you look at the body language in that photo of Huma dominating “Team Hillary”, it just screams, “I am the Alpha Beeyotch in Hillary’s Harem!”
Queen Noor and George Soros are DATING???/ DOUBLE YUK! I thought she had some class!
Naysayers should be gently reminded of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, and who some of the greatest beneficaries are.
KIDD - I didn't think oldtimers like you and I had to use the /s feature. ;-)
And what are they studying? What professions or fields are open to Saudi women, in Saudi?
She may, but she sure drank the kool aid.
BTTT
lol. Ellen buys them for her. By the way, if ellen offers you a puppy, don’t take it!
Or time to activate FR Archivists.
We’ll see.
lol. Or a ride home.
"Never go with a hippie to a second location," -- Alex Baldwin, '30 Rock.'
lol, and from that picture old ellen looks hippier
Wikipedia says some field aren't open to women, but doesn't say which ones. I believe her mother teaches sociology. At the women's college in Jedda the following degrees are offered: "Management Information Systems, Special Education, Nursing, Banking & Finance, Interior Design, Graphic Design. A program for Law Studies is planned for future."
In any event, it's not true that women can't attend universities in Saudi Arabia. Something like half of the university students there are women. Men and women don't attend the same universities and women can't study abroad unless a relative accompanies them, but there are opportunities for higher education for women.
Let's see: The father dies when Huma is 17.
Then somebody pays for Huma to fly halfway across the world and attend college at George Washington University.
Then somebody helps subsidize her once-a-day designer-label clothes-buying habit.
Then somebody helps subsidize her purchase of an apartment in downtown Washington, DC, one of the most expensive cities in America.
I wonder how you'd manage all that on a third-world Sociology Professorette's salary?
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, UNITED STATES: US First Lady and New York Senate candidate Hillary Clinton(C) carries flowers and is led by an unidentified Andrews Air Force Base Protocol Officer(R) while her personal aide Huma Abedin carries a bag and a stack of New York newspapers 06 May 2000 after returning from New York to meet up with her husband, President Bill Clinton at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. The Clintons then boarded Air Force One and traveled to Subiaco, Arkansas, to attend a friend's wedding.
“intelligence mole”
indeed. could the smartest woman in the world be this stupid?
BTTT and Bookmarked
Great post! Tremendous story!
Not only is this Huma a lesbian partner, she has Saudi connections and reputed to be HRC's top Middle East advisor! Absolutely scary!
Will the people of America finally wake up and take notice?
Humas my babe when Hill is out of town so stop messing with her
